We are looking for adventurous, fun, and creative teachers to join usManglares Discovery School is a private micro-school in its sixth year, set
on a secluded, natural jungle campus. Our students range from age 3 to age
12, and the school serves the nearby beach/surf community of Playa Venao. Our
school is focused on developing the whole child; academic as well as social
and emotional well-being.
We started with a single, early-education classroom, but have since expanded
into elementary grades. Our early education started with a Reggio
Emilia-inspired curriculum, and our goal is to permeate this philosophy of
the project-based approach through all of our grade levels. We are now
looking for a lead teacher to bring the child-led, inquiry-driven spirit into
an elementary grade, Grade 3.
The area offers much potential in terms of inquiry extensions. For example,
the campus is home to a waterfall; we get almost daily visits from three
species of monkeys and other birds and animals. The local community has
various interesting cultural traditions. Our student-teacher ratio is
approximately 10-15 students to a teacher.
The candidate(s) must be open-minded and willing to adapt and incorporate
various learning tools, pay attention to the student's learning needs &
interests, lead discussions, inspire collaboration and reflection, and model
a love of learning. The classroom will be a hybrid model mixing digital
learning and longer projects. The candidate(s) must have classroom
experience.
If you believe in developing the whole child, love working with children,
believe that life is an adventure, love nature, believe in the hidden
potential of children, and want to try working at a growing school in a
tropical location, this position might be a great fit for you
The position requires relocation to rural Panama. Playa Venao is often
regarded as the surfing capital of Panama with consistent year-round waves.
The candidate(s) must be willing to adjust to a new environment & culture (a
slower pace of life) and enjoy nature (or learn to embrace it).
